[[Bihu]] ({{langx|as|বিহু}}) is the festival of New Year of [[Assam]] falling on mid-April. This is a festival of nature and mother earth where the first day is for the cows and buffaloes. The second day of the festival is for the man. Bihu dances and songs accompanied by traditional drums and wind instruments are an essential part of this festival. Bihu songs are energetic and with beats to welcome the festive spring. Assamese drums (dhol), Pepa(usually made from buffalo horn), Gogona are major instruments used.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.utsavpedia.com/cultural-connections/celebrating-spring-bihu/|title=Bihu Dance|date=2013-07-15}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://mythicalindia.com/features-page/bihu-dance-and-other-popular-folk-dance-forms-of-assam/|title=Bihu- Most prominent amongst folk dance forms of Assam|date=2016-05-07}}</ref>

[[Borgeet]]s ({{langx|as|বৰগীত}}) are lyrical songs that are set to specific [[raga]]s but not necessarily to any [[Tala (music)|tala]]. These songs, composed by [[Srimanta Sankardeva]] and [[Madhavdeva]] in the 15th–16th centuries, are used to begin prayer services in [[Satra (Ekasarana Dharma)|monasteries]], e.g. [[Satra (Ekasarana Dharma)|Satra]] and [[Namghar]] associated with the [[Ekasarana Dharma]]; and they also belong to the repertoire of [[Music of Assam]] outside the religious context. They are a lyrical strain that express the religious sentiments of the poets reacting to different situations, and differ from other lyrics associated with the [[Ekasarana Dharma]].
